Brie's Closet

In London the androgynous always wins out and fashion are center around the skinny girl, but this weekend, London Fashion Week celebrated the full figured woman and all her curves. Thirteen designers attended the fashion weekend, but the number was dwarfed by the almost 80 labels showing across town at the official London Fashion Week, where skinny girls still reign supreme.

The London organizers got their inspiration from New York's Plus Size Fashion week, which is in it's fifth year and hope to duplicate New York's success. "At the end, I hope there won't be two segregated shows. But for now, we want to give curvy women an option," said Rianne Ward, one of the organisers of the event and the creator of online magazine Evolve.

I say let's all applauded those who want to continue to stride towards better fashion options for the curvy by showing our full support.
